Chapter 2299
Nicole’s unease intensified as the countdown to Roscoe’s wedding dwindled to a mere three days.
She knew that once the wedding passed, escaping the clutches of the Watts family would become exponentially more challenging for Roscoe.
Furthermore, the Watts family had been exploiting Roscoe for their gains, even leveraging Roscoe’s impending marriage.
In the event of an accident, the Schultz family would be ensnared and would likely sacrifice Roscoe to shield Doreen from harm.
Nicole gripped her phone and resolved to intervene.
Unbeknownst to her, Roscoe was under Miguel’s control at the Watts estate.
Turning to the butler, Roscoe inquired, “Where’s Miguel? He mentioned illness, and asked for my presence.
”
Deceived by the butler, Roscoe unwittingly returned home.
Miguel’s purported illness was a fabrication.
His health remained stable.
The butler calmly reassured, “Sir, please remain patient.
Why not have a cup of coffee while they conduct the examination for your father? You may visit him once they conclude.
”
Roscoe settled into a seat, initially declining the coffee.
However, the room’s warmth and his growing thirst compelled him to indulge.
He raised the cup to his lips, downing its contents in a single gulp.
But with each sip, dizziness enveloped Roscoe, and his thoughts blurred further.
“Another cup, please…” Before Roscoe could finish, the cup slipped from his grasp, shattering on impact.
Unfazed, the butler swiftly arranged for Roscoe’s transfer, instructing, “Take good care of him and give him nutrient solution intravenously.
Don’t let him wake up.
”
With Roscoe’s incessant demands disrupting the peace, they resolved to let him slumber for three days.
That way, they could avoid any trouble.
After taking care of the matter, the butler handed Roscoe’s phone to Miguel.
“Sir, this is your son’s phone.
It’s been ringing continuously, and a woman named Nicole has been trying to get in touch with him.
I’m uncertain if she knows something.
Do you want to deal with it?”
The butler had been working for Miguel for years, his ruthless nature and remarkable competence having earned Miguel’s trust.
Miguel saw the flashing notifications for the missed calls and messages on Roscoe’s phone, and his silver eyebrows knitted together.
“This woman is truly…” Miguel stroked his mustache and commented, “But I still don’t know the intentions of that Schultz family’s bastard.
I will first need to figure that out before I decide if I should kill her or spare her.
”
Miguel only made a show of respecting Jarrod.
In reality, he deeply loathed Jarrod since Jarrod had made the Watts family suffer a lot because of Roscoe, a man who shared a past with Nicole.
To be noted, Jarrod was incredibly powerful and decisive, coupled with his ruthless nature.
The legend of the achievements he had gained abroad had been circulating in the circle for numerous years.
Nobody in the Watts family had the nerve to act recklessly against Jarrod.
After all, the Watts family was still concerned about the safety of its family members.
But the butler thought differently.
In his eyes, anyone who posed to be a threat to the well-devised plan deserved to be eliminated.
Erring on the side of caution was always the wise choice.
“Sir, this woman is a nuisance.
We can’t allow her to create trouble at the wedding for that could be disastrous if we end up offending the Schultz family while losing control of your son.
Who knows whether there won’t be any more trouble?” the butler asked.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The butler was loyal and sincere, but he had already made up his mind.
Regardless of whether Miguel gave his consent or not, Nicole had to be killed.
Anyone who jeopardized the Watts family’s heir to the throne would be eliminated.
Of course, Roscoe wasn’t the heir.
Miguel was convinced by the butler and thought it was right.
Nicole was indeed a nuisance.
In the past, Roscoe had defied him several times because of her.
Since that was the case, they had to deal with it thoroughly and cleanly.
